Indeed sir peter is a good Priest, but Doctor Hypocrisy is most ancient. But cousin Coggin, I pray you go to invite the guess, And tell them that they need not disturb their quietness: Desire them to come at dinner time, and it shall suffice. because I know they will be loath so early to rise. But at any hand will Doctor Hypocrisy, That he meet us at the Church very early: For I would not have all the world to wonder at our match. It is an old proverb, 'tis good having a hatch before the door, but i'll have a door before the hatch. Sir, I will about it as fast as I can hie, I'll first to that scald bald knave Doctor Hypocrisy. But fellow Dissimulation, how darest thou marry with Love, bearing no love at all? For thou dost nothing but dissemble, than thy love must needs be small. Thou canst not love but from the teeth forward, Sure the wife that marries thee shall highly be preferred. Tush tush, you are a merry man, I warrant I know what I be And can yield a good reason for it I may say unto you. What and if the world should change, and run all on her side? Then might I by her means still in good credit abide. Thou knowest Love is ancient, and lives peaceably without any strifes, Then sure the people will think well of me because she is my wife. Trust me thou art as crafty to have an eye to the main chance, As the tailor that out of seven yards stole one and a halt of durance. He served at that inn she devil in the likeness of S. Ratherme, Such Tailors will thrive, that out of a doublet and a pair of hose can steal their wise an Apron. The Doublet sleeve three fingers were too short, The Venetians came nothing near the knee. Then for to make them long enough I pray thee what did he? Two pieces set an handful broad to lengthen them withal, Yet for all that below the knee by no means they could fall. He seeing that, desired the party to buy as much to make another pair, The party did, yet for all that he stole a quarter there. Now sure I can him thank, he could his occupation: My fellow Fraud would laugh to hear one dressed of such a fashion, But fellow Simony, I thank you heartily for comparing the tailor to me, As who should say his knavery and my policy did agree. Not so, but i was the willinger to tell thee, because I know it to be a true tale, And to see how Artificers do extol Fraud, by whom they bear their sale. But come let us walk, and talk no more of this, Your policy was very good, and so no doubt was his.

Not so, but i was the willinger to tell thee, because I know it to be a true tale, And to see how Artificers do extoll Fraud, by whom they beare their sale. But come let vs walke, and talke no more of this, Your pollicie was very good, and so no doubt was his.
